What were you most thankful for this past Thanksgiving?
Micheal Tillman, Southeast D.C.
Just waking up. Health, family, and working [to] have an opportunity to help people [shape] a positive mindset. If you have a positive mindset, then positive things will happen to you.
Thomas Mcnulti, Houston
Spending time with the girlfriend’s family, getting to know them a little bit better, [and vice versa]. We recently moved in together…so I’m just thankful for the chapter of life I’m in.
Debra Irving, Northwest D.C.
Just being alive – knowing that I woke up that morning, I don’t want for [anything], I am in fairly good health and blessed to be alive. The way things are going now, being out here, life goes on. Keep going.”
Arturo Gonnini White, Panama City, Panama
I’m thankful [for my former maid]. Her name is Sharkina Mac, I called her and [told] her that I [would] hire her back so she can bring me a plate. She knows how to cook [well].
Demetrius Mayo, Southeast D.C.
At the end of the day, I am thankful all year, not just Thanksgiving. I am thankful to see another year, I am thankful to have two jobs, thankful to have my own apartment.
